Abstract: Techniques for managing authored views. The techniques includes displaying a main window including a model, an authoring panel configured for displaying authored view indicators associated with authored views of the model, and a navigation panel configured for displaying thumbnail representations of authored views associated with the model. The techniques also include based on a user input, accessing an authored view of the model, wherein the authored view includes one of a view-point, a view path and a view surface. The techniques further include displaying the authored view in the main window, an authored view indicator associated with the authored view in the authoring panel, and a thumbnail representation based on the authored view in the navigation panel.

Abstract: One embodiment of the invention is a collage engine that generates informative viewpoints of a 3D model based upon the editing history of the 3D model. In operation, the collage engine processes an editing log to identify segments of the 3D model that include related vertices. For a given segment, the collage engine selects a viewpoint used by the end-user to edit the 3D model and a viewpoint used by the end-user to inspect the 3D model. The collage engine may then present the informative viewpoints to the end-user for inclusion in a collage of 2D renderings based upon the informative viewpoints. Generally, the viewpoints used while editing and inspecting the 3D model are of importance in the overall presentation of the 3D model. Therefore, collages of 2D renderings based upon the informative viewpoints can be generated effectively.

Abstract translation: 本发明的一个实施例是一种拼贴引擎，其基于3D模型的编辑历史生成3D模型的信息视点。 在操作中，拼贴引擎处理编辑日志以识别包括相关顶点的3D模型的段。 对于给定的段，拼贴引擎选择最终用户使用的视点来编辑3D模型，以及最终用户使用的视点来检查3D模型。 然后，拼贴引擎可以向最终用户呈现信息性视点，以便根据信息观点包含在二维渲染的拼贴中。 一般来说，编辑和检查3D模型时使用的观点在3D模型的整体呈现中是重要的。 因此，可以有效地生成基于信息观点的2D渲染的拼贴。

Abstract: An approach is provided for sending pre-defined workflows to a display device of a user device. In one example, the approach includes receiving a request for steps to complete a task associated with a software application. In response to receiving the request for steps, the system obtains at least a first workflow and a second workflow, each workflow including one or more steps that the user device can execute to complete the task. The system receives a request to format the first workflow and the second workflow into one or more view formats. The system generates a summary of the first workflow and a summary of the second workflow. Each summary includes one or more salient attributes of the each workflow. The system sends to the display device at least the first workflow and the second workflow in the one or more view formats.
